    "What?" Xiao Yuansi was surprised.

    After some explanation from Prime Minister Lin, he found out what happened to Wen Youting's status as a criminal slave.

    It's simple to say, that is, his father and second uncle were fighting for the throne, and the Wen family sided with his second uncle, but his father won, and he wiped out all the second uncle's henchmen by means of thunder, beheading those who beheaded, and those who bought hairWhy, Wen Youting was sheltered by the soldiers because he was far away at the border. Except for her, everyone in the Wen family died, and the death was miserable. Although she survived, she has already been demoted to slavery.

    Therefore, Wen Youting has a blood feud with him.

    Xiao Yuansi couldn't help frowning, this was something he didn't expect.

    Seeing that he was in trouble, the civil servants felt the excitement of turning a dead tree into a spring and turning a corner. Their majesty finally woke up!

    Sure enough, Lin Xiang, the veteran of the three dynasties and pro-grandfather, still has to do it!

    After all, His Majesty is the one under their control, and every move cannot escape their plan.

    They didn't know, but what Xiao Yuansi was thinking was, would there be such a good thing in the world?!

    As soon as wanted to fall asleep, someone handed me a pillow.

    Blood feud is good, blood feud is wonderful.

    He wants to promote Wen Youting to his side!

    Since the generals said that Wen Youting valued love and righteousness, she would definitely want to avenge her parents and relatives. She regarded him as a thorn in the side of the enemy's son, and wished to kill him immediately. As long as she made good use of it, she might be able to contribute to his arduous cause of subjugation.

    Subjugation is just around the corner!

    An imperceptible smile floated on the corner of Xiao Yuansi's mouth, and he announced on the spot: "I will pass on my will, I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I am grateful for the benevolence of the heavens, and amnesty the world."

    "General Wen is no longer a slave. Let her enter the palace as soon as she recovers from her illness."

    "..."

    Under the court, all the officials were silent.

    Even the military officers couldn't stand this operation.

    I have never seen an emperor who, because of a mild illness, gave amnesty to the world after recovering from the illness, expelled people at will, and kept courtiers with blood feuds by his side.

    Oh, it's not that there is no such thing, but that is a faint king who has been infamous for thousands of years!

    Is it possible that Your Majesty wants to follow the example of the Hunjun?This move is too nonsense!

    Prime Minister Lin couldn't sit still anymore, he called Xiao Yuansi who got up to leave, and said slightly annoyed: "Your Majesty, please take it back!"

    There was a word of please in the words, but there was no trace of respect for him, the emperor, in his attitude.

    Xiao Yuansi condescendingly looked down at Lin Xiang, who had an order in his tone, shook his wide sleeves, and said: "A word from the Son of Heaven is as heavy as Mount Tai, and Mount Tai cannot be moved, and so are my words."

    "Or, grandpa doesn't see my health and is not happy for my recovery?" Xiao Yuansi deliberately lowered his voice, making every word sound heavy with the power of heaven.

    Lin Xiang was silent for a moment, Xiao Yuansi's tall and straight figure became blurred in front of his eyes, as if he couldn't see the little baby who was crying and calling "Grandpa" behind him before.

    In this confrontation between the grandparents and grandchildren, he was finally defeated.

    "Chen, don't dare."

    "snort."

    Xiao Yuansi walked away with a cold face.

    Back in the bedroom and sitting on the dragon bed, Xiao Yuansi instantly changed from the majestic emperor who overwhelmed all his officials above the court to a puddle of soft mud who just wanted to play games in a daze.

    The last dynasty was the same as going to a debating competition. The practice of verbal battle against Confucianism is not as good as it is shown in the TV series. It is a great test of brain power and psychology.

    My brain couldn't stand the burn early in the morning, and now feel dizzy.

    Xiao Yuansi asked weakly: "System, do the civil servants hate me?"

    System: "Not yet, but someone has already complained about you, the host will work harder!"

    This group of civil servants were as stubborn as stones in a latrine, and after being humiliated by him in front of all the people in the capital city, they were beaten in the face in front of their deadly rival, the military officer, to the extent that they only "had opinions" on him.

    The mental quality is also too good, right?!

    Xiao Yuansi was so bored that he turned over and stared at the graceful and elegant jade-decorated top of the bed in a daze.

    This palace is extravagant, but it is full of eyeliner. It is more appropriate to describe it with a beautiful bird cage.

    The stable batch of civil servants reflected a serious problem from the side-they didn't care about the emperor at all.

    In other words, he, the emperor, has no weight and majesty in their hearts. The country is actually run and controlled by them, and the so-called His Majesty is just a puppet, a toy.set.

    Occasional deviations are harmless and harmless to the overall situation. They have the ability to put everything back on track.

    He clamored to make Wen Youting a general of hussars, to get close to the military officer, and to amnesty the world. Although they were not happy, it was still within their acceptable range so far.

    It's like coaxing a child who is incompetent and still messing around, let him make a fuss first, and when the temper passes and the fuss is exhausted, should he listen to the adults or listen to the adults, after all, it will not turn upside down.

    But won't it really overturn the day?

    That's not necessarily the case.

    Xiao Yuansi's goal is to be a stunned king who shakes the world and weeps ghosts and gods.

    Hunjun's first sword, the sword is these civil servants who have no imperial power and are proud of their talents!

    Since he hasn't stepped on their bottom line, he might as well make things worse.

    Xiao Yuansi closed his eyes and meditated while thinking rapidly in his mind, how to play next is interesting enough.

    The newly promoted Chief Eunuch Xiao Liuzi came in with a memorial. Seeing that Xiao Yuansi closed his eyes as if he was taking a nap, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he walked lightly to the bedside to wait for His Majesty to wake up.

    There were still five or six steps away from Xiao Yuansi, Xiao Yuansi sensed someone, opened his eyes suddenly, a cold light struck at Xiao Liuzi, his eyes were strange and cold that he had never seen before, so frightened Xiao Liuzi hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake.

    "It was the slave who accidentally woke up His Majesty with his clumsy hands and feet. Please punish him."

    "It's okay, get up."

    Xiao Yuansi rubbed his temples and sat up.

    After coming here for so long, he still can't agree with the backward thinking and system of this world, let alone integrate into the life of this world. Here he is like an intruder who suddenly breaks into other people's territory.People and the environment are on high alert.

    If this continues, sooner or later he will become mentally weak, Xiao Yuansi sighed in his heart, and then scolded the cheating system.

    Still in shock, Little Six stood up tremblingly, watching His Majesty's face carefully, his calm and shallow eyes were covered with a layer of mist that he couldn't understand, blurred and incompatible with them.

    He didn't dare to delve into where this feeling of detachment came from, so he handed over the memorial first, and said in a low voice: "This is the list of beautiful girls carefully selected by the Ministry of Rites, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

    Xiao Yuansi: "Xiu Nu?"

    After a quick glance, nine and a half out of the ten beautiful girls are members of the civil servants group. Xiao Yuansi really has no words to describe his mood at the moment. Those civil servants are really tireless in order to stuff people into his harem. It can be said that they are indomitableah.

    They don't stop when they are beaten up in the court, and they still think about it when they go down.

    He seriously suspected that the original owner was forced too hard by their forced marriage, so after falling into the water, he simply lost his desire to survive and ran away.

    Now it is urging marriage, and after marriage, it will start to urge the birth, and after the birth, it will start to urge the establishment of the crown prince, and after the establishment of the crown prince, it will also urge the establishment of the crown princess... Being urged to leave all day long, this emperor is really aggrieved.

    In the final analysis, this group of civil servants was too idle. It was not enough for him, the emperor, to take over all the affairs of the previous dynasty, and his family affairs in the harem also had to be involved.

    It's time to find something big for them to do.

    Xiao Yuansi looked at the memorial and thought of a bold and exciting idea, which evoked a chilling sneer.

    Seeing His Majesty like this, Little Six subconsciously swallowed his throat.

    The last time he saw His Majesty's smile was when he was selecting the new Chief Eunuch——

    At that time, several young eunuchs who had not entered the palace for a long time but were still outstanding stood in a row. His Majesty had someone hang a painting in front of them, leaned lazily on the chair, and said, "This is my favorite painting."Horse map, tell me how many horses are there?"

    The few of them stared straight and saw that there was no sign of the horse.

    A bold man said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is not a single horse."

    "Look again." His Majesty didn't even lift his eyelids, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

    After a while, another person replied: "Your Majesty, there is only a deer in the painting, and there are no horses."

    "You think it's a deer?"

    "Yes, Your Majesty."

    "But why do I think it's a horse?"

    A few people looked at me and looked at you, not sure what His Majesty meant, but Xiao Liuzi vaguely guessed something.

    "No, Your Majesty, it's clearly a deer..."

    Little Six interrupted the man who was speaking, determined to take a gamble and ran ahead of him, knelt down, and said firmly: "That's a horse!"

    "Your Majesty said it was a horse, so it can only be a horse!"

    Only then did His Majesty slowly open his eyes, and his eyes wandered over him several times, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

    Didn't you find the treacherous eunuch who pretended to be a deer for a horse, flattered and flattered the court, and made trouble for the government?

    Afterwards, Little Six tasted what it was like to ascend to the sky in one step, tremblingly took the eunuch's mandarin coat and whisk from Eunuch Liu, and when he looked up, he saw Eunuch Liu's contemptuous and disgusting eyes.

    From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on people who rely on flattery to get to the top. It is too easy for His Majesty to go astray when he is with such people.

    However, it is an indisputable fact that Little Six is in power. At the same time, he also understands that he can only live if His Majesty is with him. Everything he has now is given by His Majesty.

    So when Prime Minister Lin sent someone to win him over, he resolutely refused.

    After being immersed in the palace for a long time, there are some things that he can't see through, but he can still guess the same. Suddenly, His Majesty cut off Lin Xiangan's eyeliner, promoted a group of people who were only loyal to him, and refused to allow women from aristocratic families to enter the palace.In the court hall, he openly broke up with the civil servants.

    What's this?This is His Majesty who is about to seize power and govern himself!

    While pretending to be a dandy who doesn't care about government affairs, Lin Xiang and the others relax their vigilance, while secretly cleaning up their party members. If he hadn't observed carefully and thought through thoroughly, he would have almost been deceived by His Majesty's disguise.

    Xiao Liuzi sighed again, the emperor's heart is really unfathomable, and in the future he will have to work hard to figure out His Majesty's psychology.

    Xiao Yuansi didn't know why the little eunuch looked at him fearfully for a while, and looked at him admiringly for a while, with colorful expressions on his face.

    Could it be that he knew that he ran up in the middle of the night to watch the short stories played by the system?

    Impossible, impossible, Xiao Yuansi immediately dispelled this conjecture, and threw the memorial back into the arms of Little Six.

    "Pass the decree to announce that the women on the roster will enter the palace tomorrow."

    "Also, let them pack up the things they need for a long stay in the palace."

    The little six sons were full of doubts, didn't His Majesty disagree with the entry of a family girl into the palace?Why did you change your mind so quickly?I want them to live longer.

    Does Your Majesty have some good anti-marriage strategies?

    Little Six can't guess this time, so he can only follow His Majesty's wishes first.

    ————

    Outside the palace, in the mansion of the Minister of Rites, there were lights and festoons everywhere, everyone's face was filled with joy, and the noise of the guests reached the sky.

    The servant took his daughter's hand, looked carefully at the last few times, and couldn't help raising his sleeve to wipe away tears.

    Yesterday he returned to the mansion cursing, and today he happily sent his daughter out of the house, exhorting and exhorting her.

    "When you arrive in the palace, you must serve His Majesty with all your heart, and establish a good relationship with other empresses. If you have any troubles, you must tell your father in time, and don't bear it alone."

    "Don't worry, father, my daughter must remember."

    The strangeness of His Majesty's imperial decree is that it only said that beautiful women should enter the palace, but there is no entrustment rank.

    Maybe we have to wait until we see it with our own eyes, and then we don't know how high or low the name will be.

    After leaving the court yesterday, His Majesty must have realized his mistake, so he backed down and allowed Xiu Nu to enter the palace to appease the officials who were angered by him.

    If knew this earlier, why didn't leave room for them in the court?

    The servant of the Ministry of Rites wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sent his daughter to the carriage. For this one daughter, he hurriedly summoned into the palace and did not have time to prepare many things., the convoy drove into the imperial city mightily, and the streets were crowded with people watching the excitement, envious of others.

    Not long after the carriage left, a heart-piercing howl erupted in a secluded alley not far from the house of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. It was interspersed with the sound of festive gongs and drums, which was extremely ear-piercing on such a happy day.

    Afraid of offending their own lady, the servants of the Minister's Mansion went in with brooms to drive her away.

    "roll roll roll!"

    "Today is the day of great joy for my young lady to enter the palace and become a noble person. Don't cry here and call your mother and touch my young lady's bad luck!"

    It was a gray-haired old man who was crying bitterly, dressed in ragged clothes, haggard, thin skin sticking to the skeleton, fell to the ground, tears streaming down, and said in a breathless voice: "My daughter died of starvation the day before yesterday, and she was buried., but I was dug out of the ground by wild dogs last night, gnawed badly, I also have a granddaughter, the teeth haven't grown yet, she is about to starve to death, I haven't lived for a few days, what do you want me to doDon't cry!"

    "Oh." The young servant also has a daughter in his family. He was moved with compassion and wanted to find out a few texts before throwing them to him, but was stopped by his companion.

    The companion lifted his chin and nodded to the inside of the alley. The inside was densely packed with poor people like old people, so crowded that there was no place to stay in the alley.

    Poverty, illness, hunger, and cold combined to create the numbness on their faces.

    You can’t give this money, but if you give it to one, other people will gather around like dirty rats in the ditch, smelling the smell, and they can’t get rid of it.

    The companion raised the broom high and hit the old man hard: "Get out! If you don't get out, I'll kill you!"

    "Pooh!"

    The old man curled up to protect himself. He wanted to say that he had no strength to walk anymore, but they didn't give him this chance.

    The broom was raised and smashed again and again, bang, bang, bang——

    Slowly, he was speechless and his body stopped shaking.

    ————

    In the palace, after the ladies of the aristocratic family bid farewell to their families, the little six sons led them to the palace.

    But as she walked, the careful lady realized that the road was wrong.

    "Eunuch, this is not the way to the harem, where are you leading us?"

    "Miss, don't worry, this is the palace, I won't sell you, Your Majesty is waiting." The little six replied indifferently.

    Although there was no malice, Miss Shengui was thin-skinned, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.

    Little Six saw it, and secretly sweated for these ladies who didn't leave the door.

    With such a poor psychological quality, how can he withstand His Majesty's troubles next time.

    A group of people came to a courtyard. The decoration here was different from the magnificence of the inner palace. There were almost no complicated embellishments. The cleaning was clean and elegant. The rich gates were closed and surrounded by high walls.", under the sunlight of the day, there is a sense of dignity and righteousness in plain sight.

    The ladies are a little scared at the moment. It doesn't look like a place where His Majesty would live or play, but rather... a yamen for detention and interrogation.

    "Eunuch, where is this?"

    "What exactly are we going to do?"

    Little Six didn't answer, he opened the door on his own, glanced behind him, and made way sideways.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go in with the slaves."

    After explaining the tasks to all the ladies, the little six returned to the palace to report to His Majesty.

    "They didn't make a scene?" Xiao Yuansi lay lazily on the bed, yawning with his head propped up.

    Little Six thought for a while: "It's not a lot of trouble, it's just that each face is uglier than the other, as if bored with a big bowl of bitter medicine."

    "puff."

    Xiao Yuansi couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

    Thinking about it, they are all noble daughters of aristocratic families, and they have been taught strict etiquette. It is not decency to put a knife on their necks, not to mention that he just asked them to help check the accounts.

    With the development of the civil service group to such a large scale, it is impossible for the inside to be as glamorous as the outside, and there must be countless black box operations.

    When the water is clear, there will be no fish.

    Who wants to do things without oil and water?Who can serve the country and the people wholeheartedly when they can't afford to eat?They are officials, not Bodhisattvas.

    If you want to force them to rebel, you have to touch their fundamental interests. When the whip hits the softest place, and the blood drips from the whip, you will know that it hurts, and you will know to resist.

    Xiao Yuansi wanted to investigate their corruption, but he couldn't let the people from the household department to investigate. The civil servants are all foxes born in a brood, and they will inevitably cover each other.

    And most of the military officers can't read a few big characters, and they can't see it when they read the account book, let alone find the loopholes in it.

    It's impossible for him to do it himself.

    But the ladies of these civil servants are different.

    Most of them have read books and learned arithmetic, so that they can assist their mother-in-law and housekeeper in the future.

    How many paddy field shops there are, how to plan the monthly salary of each person, whether the family income and expenditure can be balanced...they all have to know.

    However, no matter how outstanding their ability is, they can only get the right to be a housekeeper. The money they earn in the shop belongs to their husband's family.

    Xiao Yuansi was old and cunning, he only said to let the civil servants bring his daughter into the palace, he didn't say whether it was a concubine or something else, they couldn't blame him for thinking too much.

    Let these ladies check the accounts and Xiao Yuansi can rest assured that they don't know that the accounts in their hands are evidence of corruption and bribery by their father or his father's colleagues. It is just that His Majesty wants to test their ability.Miss and His Majesty are ashamed in front of you.

    They would never have thought that the place just across the wall from them was the government office where their father and elder brother worked.

    Those civil servants only knew that His Majesty had sent a group of "capable men" to assist them in handling official duties, but they didn't know where the "capable men" were or what they looked like.

    His Majesty ordered that all the accounts they have handled must be handed over to "capable people" to handle them again.

    At first they didn't pay much attention to it. His Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so how can they find someone who they don't know and who is capable?

    It's just a child who wants to play house.

    Just play and play, the more the little emperor loves to play, the less he interferes with their official affairs, the less trouble they cause, what they wish for.

    They are also very confident in their superb accounting methods. No one can see the way except themselves. The people who work here are already the top arithmetic talents in this country.

    No one cares about this, and they continue to do their official duties as usual.

    When boxes after boxes of ledgers were brought back, and they just flipped through a few pages, everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.

    Regardless of whether it is a new account or an old account, the problematic areas are circled with a Chinese ink pen and commented on——

    Where there is a problem with the expenditure and inclusion, when someone embezzles the money, they can even see the method of embezzlement!

    The civil servants shook their hands like a sieve while looking through them, and their trembling legs required someone to help them stand still.

    Fuck!

    Where did this group of people come from?!

    Not only is the investigation accurate, the investigation is ruthless, but also the investigation is very detailed.

    They found out that the minister of the household department sold a few pairs of obscene pants with public funds to save money!

    What a shame!How unreasonable!

    This is not even going to leave them with a pair of pants!

    who is it?!Who is behind their backs!

    The civil servants were restless all day long, and finally got to the point where they went home, rushed home in a hurry, closed the door and interrogated everyone in the family.

    After the investigation, it was found that the problem was not at home, but that there was an inner ghost in the civil service group!

    It must be like this, only they themselves have this ability and means!

    So they began to be suspicious again, looking at their colleagues as if they were looking at a hooligan who stripped their underwear.

    The news of the chaos in the household department was quickly known by Xiao Yuansi. He asked people to close the door of the bedroom, leaving him alone to laugh loudly and roll around on the bed, laughing as wickedly as possible.

    "Hahahaha—oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing."

    This is not much more interesting than going to court to listen to their chanting.

    System: "Wow, you are so wicked."

    Xiao Yuansi raised his eyebrows: "How am I doing?"

    The system smirked: "Hey, it goes without saying, of course it's beautiful!"

    Xiao Yuansi: "Hahaha——"

    System: "Hahaha——"

    When everyone in the household department was in danger, the ladies from the aristocratic family next door were working overtime to check the accounts.

    Occasionally, strange noises could be heard from next door.

    "Hey, did you hear anything?"

    "The little mice are fighting."

    "Don't worry about it, it's important to check the accounts."

    "Haha, I have checked more than twenty books."

    "Damn it! Wait for us, we are still good sisters!"

    "Who told you to be distracted, you deserve it."

    Xiao Yuansi was looking forward to the day when the two people met.

    How wonderful it should be!
